It's Back!

A phone call this morning confirmed my PC was ready and available to be collected from the tech who was checking it for me.  For all intents and purposes there wasn't anything wrong with it.  It did get a good clean out of dust and other bits and pieces.

Then everything was tested and it all came out OK.  I am guessing a build up of dust and an extremely humid day allowed a short circuit somewhere which shut down the PC power supply.  They usually reboot them selves an hour or two later.  This seems to fit the timetable of events to when the tech got it going again.

He even checked the small battery on the motherboard.  It was removed and tested but then the PC lost all my 'personal' settings, the time and date etc.  This in turn has an effect on any updates as it checks the last update with the current date and time.  When I got it back this morning the PC thought it was 2002!

Our long dry spell has come to an end with several thunderstorms rolling through this morning.  The pool is again full, the lawns have had a well earned watering and the plants are looking a lot happier.  We can expect even more rain as the day continues.

Kate and Arj have accepted a 2 year appointment to an overseas school.  We will give more details when we are able to.

Great to have the PC back again.  Especially as the cricket is now over with the Aussies going to a 5-nil win late yesterday.

Before the storms I got in my 12.5k bike ride and a glorious swim with pool around 28 degrees.
